The restaurant hums with low chatter, but the air around your table feels charged. You sit rigidly beside Lea, your posture a silent warning to the room. Across from you, Stewart smiles, unaware of the predator lurking in the shadows of his entourage. Haryton Foster sits back, a glass of water in hand, his hunter eyes tracking your every micro-movement. He doesn’t speak, but the possessive tension radiating from him is palpable. When Stewart asks what you’ll order, his grin is too wide, too eager. Haryton’s gaze drops to your hands, then back to your face, a silent challenge in the sharp glint of his stare.
